The focus of this survey is the modeling and control of bipedal locomotion systems. More speci6cally, we seek to review the developments in the 6eld within the framework of stability and control of systems subject to unilateral constraints. We place particular emphasis on three main issues that, in our view, form the underlying theory in the study of bipedal locomotion systems. Impact of the lo...

Identification of all human protein-protein interactions will lead to a global human protein linkage map that will provide important information for functional genomics studies. The yeast two-hybrid system is a powerful molecular genetic approach for studying protein-protein interactions. To apply this technology to generate a human protein linkage map, the first step is to construct two-hybrid...

Using the INRA-Minnesota porcine radiation hybrid panel, we have constructed a human-pig comparative map composed of 2274 loci, including 206 ESTs and 2068 BAC-end sequences, assigned to 34 linkage groups. The average spacing between comparative anchor loci is 1.15 Mb based on human genome sequence coordinates. A total of 51 conserved synteny groups that include 173 conserved segments were iden...

─ In this article a novel parallel hybrid algorithm is proposed for image restoration. The Image restoration problem is formulated as a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimation problem. The noise free image is modeled as Markov Random Field Model. The MAP estimates are obtained by the proposed hybrid Tabu algorithms. The performance of the algorithm is enhanced by parallelizing the proposed hybrid...

The proposed hybrid message embedded scheme consists of hill cipher combined with message embedded chaotic scheme. Message-embedded scheme using non-linear feedback shift register as non-linear function and 1-D logistic map as chaotic map is modified, analyzed and tested for avalanche property and strength against known plaintext attack and brute-force attack. Parameter of logistic map acts as ...

Accurate digital map plays an important role in mobile navigation. Due to the ineffective updating mechanism, existing map updating methods cannot guarantee completeness and validity of the map. The common problems of them involve huge computation and low precision. More importantly, they scarcely consider inferring new roads on sparse unmatched trajectories. In this paper, we first address the...

The Kohonen self organizing map is an excellent tool in exploratory phase of data mining and pattern recognition. The SOM is a popular tool that maps high dimensional space into a small number of dimensions by placing similar elements close together, forming clusters. Recently researchers found that to capture the uncertainty involved in cluster analysis, it is not necessary to have crisp bound...
